Harry Potter Advent Calendar Series 2

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

That is really cool!! I still have unopened blind bags. I should open them and do this or give away as stocking stuffers. Thank you for sharing!!

Days 2 and 3 were awesome! Love the details on these tiny little figures..!

Got an email from the god-kid saying that day 2 was 'some kind of dragon thing' for her series 1 calendar. I think I hurt something laughing over that one!

LEGO has an advent calendar? This is really cool!! Where have I been? Lol

Lego has a City and Star Wars Advent calendar normally. This year they added a Harry Potter advent calendar into the mix. :)

I have to admit that I was disappointed there was no Dobby in this year’s Harry Potter.
I used to be a werewolf, but I’m alright nooooooooooow :cat:

I was a bit disappointed as well... I was hoping for a fawkes... or some creature. This years felt a bit boring for me. Dont get me wrong..huge Potter fan here.. BUT for all of them to be the Yule ball version in almost identical tuxedos..just fell flat for me. I am hoping they do a Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them next year.. My favorites from both advent calendars are CROOKSHANKS and HEDWIG.. more creatures please :)

Exactly.

I had to wonder at why they did Cedric and Neville, since the molds for the body seems very similar.

Mad Eye Moody is freaking awesome though

Aw nuts, I shouldn't have read in here! I was pretty happy, but now that you mention it, I want a Fawkes! Very true that we got a lot of tuxedos, but I do think they did a good job on the ladies dresses.

My votes next year are more creatures, and some quidditch teams!

Hey that’s the fun of it is opening and not knowing who it will be.

Why must people rain on our parades?

As far as creative displays, I am terrible at it...! But I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Glad there wasn't! Purchasing duplicates to get the whole set is annoying.

Seriously! If they limit doing exclusives to ever other year, that won't be so bad, but every year would be really annoying!

If they're going to do exclusives, it would be best if it were more than just 3 characters. That sounds like a lot more work for Funko though. But even if they were recolors or something, it would make it more worth buying two sets.

I'd actually rather each set be distinct so that I'd have absolutely no regrets about purchasing 2 sets!

Bought the Advent calendar when it was on sale at HT. I put it away and promptly forgot about it. Typical muggle thing to do!
